You're the Leader. Now What?: Leadership Lessons from Mayo Clinic

Your colleagues are seated around the table, all looking at you as you arrive in the conference room. They disagree on the most important factor to consider and how to proceed. You decide it's critical to rely on your own extensive expertise to carry your team forward. After all, you're the leader. Only your directives fall flat, your colleagues are even more disgruntled, and the way forward is muddier than ever.

In You're the Leader. Now What?, Richard Winters, Mayo Clinic emergency physician and director of leadership development, explores the dangers of embracing the role of heroic expert in making decisions. Using a clear and practical framework, real-life experiences and back-of-the-napkin drawings, You're the Leader. Now What? shows how to leverage the emotional intelligence and collective strengths of your team to create an effective and successful way forward. Instead of telling everyone what to do, you'll develop management leadership that responds effectively to emerging challenges and threats, while reducing employee burnout and boosting satisfaction.

This book of Leadership 101 lessons from the world-renowned Mayo Clinic will help you lead when have no clear answer, when the processes and checklists put in place are inadequate, and when all eyes are on you, asking, "Now what?"
